[PATCH v3] media: radio-keene: fix memory leak in error path

[Shaurya Rane]

Fix a memory leak in usb_keene_probe(). The v4l2 control handler is
initialized and controls are added, but if v4l2_device_register() or
video_register_device() fails afterward, the handler was never freed,
leaking memory.

Add v4l2_ctrl_handler_free() call in the err_v4l2 error path to ensure
the control handler is properly freed for all error paths after it is
initialized.

v3:
  - Put v4l2_ctrl_handler_free() in err_v4l2 label
    covering all error paths with a single call.
v2:
  - Simplified fix: call v4l2_ctrl_handler_free() inline before goto
    instead of adding a new error label.
